Thanks...any thoughts on how to transact a payment overseas without getting
screwed over? PayPal is a no-go. Escrow service?

Any suggestions on shipping this economically (and safely). It seems
FedEx is quite expensive does not make economic sense for me..are there
alternate carriers or methods (e.g. via Ship) that make sense to
Look into BAX Global or Menlo Worldwide Forwarding (now part of UPS).
How do I deal with customs?
Very painfully. Your best defense is to just say what it is: obsolete
computer equipment for historical study.
